Post on the Future of Medicine

Posted by beej on October 14th, 2009

It isn’t super dramatic. This is not about insurance or any of that. It is about a critical area of medicine and how it is growing faster than most can handle. I’m talking about medical scans and their widespread use. The post is on our Darkwind Media blog since it is related to our ongoing work with CT scans: http://darkwindmedia.com/blog/2009/10/14/medical-data-overload

Let me know what you guys think. I see such a potential here for reliable non-invasive diagnostics and more accurate surgery planning. I’m staring on 3D renders of CT scans constantly and I’m amazed at the level of detail I can see inside a person’s body.

    I really enjoy your post on the Darkwind site.

    I agree that the use of scans for non-invasive diagnostics has huge potential. Hopefully, as you mentioned, the data gathered from these scans isn’t being tossed.

    We are getting pretty good at creating and utilizing algorithms for change detection and feature recognition. With enough data, we should be able to automate the detection and early recognition of many medical conditions. One of the first steps in the right direction is the 3D visualization you discuss.
